1 Samuel 29:1-3

International Standard Version

The Philistine Leaders Reject David

29 The Philistines gathered all their troops at Aphek, while Israel was camped at the spring in Jezreel. ² The Philistine leaders were passing in review among^[a] the military units,^[b] and David and his men were among^[c] them in the rear with Achish.

³ The Philistine leaders said, “What are these Hebrews doing here?”

Achish asked the Philistine leaders, “Isn’t this David, the servant of King Saul of Israel, who has been with me these days, or rather^[d] these years? I’ve found no fault in him from the day he deserted^[e] until now.”
